Anton Krim and his crew prey on desperate immigrants by posing as agents of an Eastern European government, threatening torture and death to relatives still behind the Iron Curtain unless extortionate "insurance" payments are made. When Stanislaw Kasimir realizes the swindle—his mother, whom they claim to hold prisoner, has been dead for days—he risks everything to tip off Inspector O'Malley and the Racket Squad. What unfolds is a high-stakes cat-and-mouse game as the law closes in on Krim's operation, with Kasimir's safety hanging in the balance.

When a man repeatedly returns expensive silver items for cash refunds, Inspector O'Malley and his assistant Steve Pryor smell a con—and they're right. The trail leads to the Union Silver Company itself, where the real scheme unfolds in the shipping department. It's a clever theft disguised as customer service, and it'll take sharp undercover work and quick action to stop Barry Cornell before he makes off with the goods.

When young couple Joe and Anna Crane fall victim to Theodore H. Pearson's elaborate stock-swindling schemes, Agent Dan Crandall of the Racket Squad goes undercover to expose the con man's operation. As Pearson escalates from fake investment promises to posing as a tax counselor to pocket innocent people's checks, Crandall closes in—leading to a desperate cat-and-mouse chase through the city's sewers that will determine whether this slick operator faces justice.

When Freddie pays for a carnival ride with a ten-dollar bill, the ticket seller hands back what appears to be nine singles—but the young man's girlfriend urges him to count his change later, confident he watched the transaction carefully enough. What Freddie doesn't realize is that a carnival grifter's sleight of hand is far faster than even the most attentive eye, and he's about to learn an expensive lesson in the con known as the "fast count."

Protection Game!

William ThomasTony Carlson (racketeer)Ralph (racketeer)

When racketeers Tony Carlson and Ralph set up a phony storefront modernization scheme to shake down shop owners for protection money, they target William Thomas—a successful store owner who initially pays under duress but eventually reports them to police. After Thomas becomes too frightened to testify when struck by a hit-and-run accident, the criminals grow bold enough to overreach, allowing an undercover officer to catch them red-handed. The Racket Squad closes in to show these extortionists that their old-fashioned protection game leads nowhere but prison.
